They specifically mentioned these places, could it be that most of those who could come to the abyss came from these places? Although he was curious, Qin Jinnian did not ask much, nor did he say much, but just smiled and exchanged a few words with them.

Then someone suggested inviting Qin Jinnian to dinner, but Qin Jinnian declined.

He had just arrived at the abyss, so it would be helpful for him to get to know more gods and gather some information.

But there is no rush.

He is trying to gather information from others, and others are now also very interested in him. When gathering information, both sides will definitely reveal some things.

And for now, he doesn't plan to reveal too much.

Because this would make 'Dawn Breaking' lose a large part of its mystery.

At the same time, he also felt that, in the eyes of outsiders, the connection between "Dawn" and the Daxia government was a little too close.

This is not what Qin Jinnian wants to see.

He needs to maintain the 'independence' and 'mystery' of 'Dawn'.

Otherwise, if he is too deeply involved with the authorities, it will be difficult for him to act accordingly.

He did not go to the Night Watch with Qin Fang for this reason... Otherwise, where else could it be easier to get information than at the Night Watch headquarters in Tianyuan City? What happened in Yuedu was forced, and many people in the international community have forcibly linked Dawn and the Daxia officials together.

Now that he had reached the abyss, he did not want this impression to continue to deepen.

So now, in the short term, he had no plans to establish any deep relationship with the people in the abyss.

It would be better to figure out some things in the abyss first and then make long-term plans.

For this reason, Qin Jinnian politely declined the invitations of these powerful gods. Even though they tried to keep him, Qin Jinnian just smiled and waved his hands, and finally walked away.

Not even a name was left.

This made many powerful gods dazed, and then their eyes flickered.

"She gave her name as the Fifth Miku... check her background."

Many powerful gods gave orders to some people.

They took action...

…

…

After leaving this area, Qin Jinnian flew for dozens of kilometers before stopping in another area.

Tianyuan City is very large. When Qin Jinnian arrived here, he disappeared in the air in a trance and reappeared in an empty corner.

After landing, his figure changed for a while, and finally, he became another person...

Fifth Hatsune, as a very beautiful woman, does not seem to be very convenient to move in the abyss. It is more convenient for men.

He changed into a passerby, put on a casual suit, and walked onto the street.

"Let's first find out where to obtain the God-level Abyss materials and what they specifically require."

He was thinking about the purpose of this trip.

The reason I came to the abyss was to obtain divine-level abyss materials, and then to make a breakthrough in my cultivation to see what miraculous changes would occur.

As for the information about the God-level Abyss materials, it shouldn't be difficult to find out, right? Thinking of this, he walked onto the street...

…

…

Four hours later.

Qin Jinnian came to a circular building with a large area and three floors.

This is the place that specializes in selling abyss materials.

When you walk in, the first thing you see is a hall with many stalls. It looks like a market in the countryside, with buyers and stall owners bargaining, and it is very lively.

In addition to advanced materials, there are also a large number of natural treasures unique to the abyss.

For example, fruits that increase vitality, essences that increase spiritual power, ores with a large amount of abyssal spiritual energy, spiritual crystals, etc.

There are all kinds of things, and the whole first floor is very noisy.

Qin Jinnian walked in curiously and looked around. It was obvious that there was some force supervising the hall. There were people patrolling all the time to maintain order and prevent forced buying and selling, or even robbery.

After walking around for a while, he confirmed that it was just as the person who told him about this place said... On the first floor, generally only abyss materials below level six were sold.

He listened from the side and found that the price was very cheap... at least, much cheaper than the materials on Earth.

He thought for a moment, then walked up to the second floor.

The second floor was relatively more formal, with many shops and a lot of people. In these shops, in addition to the first to sixth level materials, there were also seventh to tenth level materials.

Advanced materials, weapon materials, spiritual fruits that increase life and spirit, crystals, etc.

Neatly arranged in it.

Qin Jinnian thought about it and walked into one of the shops with fewer people. The waiter who was watching the shop came to greet him immediately.

"Hello sir, welcome to Xu's Materials Store, what can I do for you?"

"Are there any tenth-level advanced materials?" Qin Jinnian asked directly.

"Tenth-level advanced materials? Yes, yes, thirteen types of materials are complete."

The waiter responded with a smile, then took Qin Jinnian to a counter, pointed at the items on the counter and introduced them with a smile: "Magic crystal stones, fantasy feathers, black scales, magic crystal sand, spirit star bark... a total of thirteen kinds, all available. The quantity is also sufficient, how much do you need?"

"How much is the standard portion?"

Qin Jinnian asked.

"In standard quantity, it would be five million Tianyuan coins in total."

"Do you accept Earth Coins?"

"Ah? Sorry, we don't accept Earth Coins." The waiter shook his head.

Qin Jinnian nodded, and then asked: "Besides Tianyuan Coin, what other conditions are needed?"

"That's naturally the military rank. You must be a colonel or above to buy it." The waiter said with a smile.

Qin Jinnian nodded when he heard this, but sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, abyss materials are easy to obtain in the abyss.

But the prerequisite is... the military rank must be high enough.

The military merit system is not only a criterion for measuring the number of enemies killed in the abyss, nor is it only used to determine subordinates and facilitate command in critical moments... it is also a pass to all human cities in the abyss.

After all, there are still many traitors.

For example, those members of evil churches.

The emergence of the military merit system has effectively prevented the followers of evil churches from infiltrating human society.

After all, in addition to the 'mission military merit' that the four countries officially recognized and added to you through system operations, the more important one is the 'enemy killing military merit' for killing abyss species.

When military merits accumulate to a certain level, one will be promoted to a higher rank.

But promotion in military rank requires military merit...but it's not just military merit.

Known military merits can be roughly divided into two types.

One is the "military merit of killing enemies" recorded by Gaia.

The other type is the "mission military merit" issued by the four countries' dispatch missions.

Both are military merits, but in terms of importance... the former far outweighs the latter.

Apart from other things, every time a military rank is promoted, there are requirements for "military merit in killing the enemy".

For example, all those who enter the Abyss through formal channels for the first time have an initial rank of "Corporal". To be promoted to "Sergeant", one needs 100 military merits.

But these one hundred military merits are useless if they are just the 'mission merits' granted by the four countries... Among them, at least ten points must be 'enemy-killing merits'.

As for the "Military Merit for Killing the Enemy", only Gaia is qualified to give it. It is only when Gaia determines that you have killed the Abyss that it will be given to you.

This effectively reduces the risk of the evil church infiltrating... After all, for the believers of the evil church, the Abyss is their god... How dare they "kill the god"? And as the military rank increases, the proportion of "killing the enemy military merit" will become larger and larger.

Even if you have obtained the 'Million Mission Merits', you will not be allowed to be promoted if you do not have enough 'Enemy Killing Merits'.

This is the unified consensus reached by the four countries.

'Military merit for killing enemies' will be 'consumed', but the records will be preserved.

For example, you have obtained a total of one million "military merits for killing enemies". You use this part of the military merits to exchange various materials with the four countries, and then spend all the "one million".

But the records will still be kept. On Gaia, your "Military Merit for Killing Enemies" will not change... it just no longer has monetary attributes.

This is also the information Qin Jinnian obtained in the past four hours.

In Tianyuan City, to purchase anything, one needs a military rank.

It's just that the levels vary.

For example, the small stall owners on the first floor below, the abyss materials they sell in bulk can only be purchased after the military rank reaches the required level.

For example, for first-level materials, a corporal may be enough. But for second-level materials, a sergeant rank may be required. For third-level materials, a staff sergeant rank may be required...

No, no matter how much money I have, I can’t sell it to you... at least, not openly.

As for the claim that the military rank was fake? That is impossible.

"Welcome, Colonel Li Yuan."

A gentle, robotic female voice came from the shop next door.

When Qin Jinnian looked over, he saw a man standing on a small square that existed in all the shops, with an illusory shadow appearing above the man's head.

There were things that looked like claw marks.

There are three rows in total, with green, blue and purple claw marks.

Each row has nine claw marks.

This man had two purple claw marks, four blue claw marks, and seven green claw marks.

These are the "military merits for killing the enemy".

It is said that every time a deep-sea creature or a strange creature is killed, Gaia's breath will leave a "claw mark". Depending on the strength of the deep-sea creature or the strange creature, the color of the mark will also be different.

Green is the most common, basically it is the weird species below the fifth level... Blue is above the fifth level and below the seventh level. Purple is above the eighth level and below the tenth level.

From the claw marks on this man's head, it was clear that he had killed at least two Abyss Species above Level 8, four Abyss Species from Level 5 to Level 7, and dozens of Abyss Species below Level 5...

Well, for Abyssal Species below Level 5, you can't get a 'green claw mark' by killing one. It depends on the strength.

It might take more than ten first-level abyss species to get a "green claw mark". Maybe even a fifth-level abyss species can also get a "green claw mark".

Green claw marks are basically equivalent to one hundred military merits.

Blue, equivalent to one thousand military merits.

Purple is equivalent to 10,000 military merits.

Above that are the golden claw marks...each of which is equivalent to 100,000 military merits.

This probably corresponds to the military rank of 'sergeant, lieutenant, colonel'... and above that, it is the 'general' level.

Note that this is 'military merit for killing the enemy'.

It does not represent an absolute military rank.

Because military merit also includes 'mission merit'...the combination of the two together makes up the military rank.

However, as you progress to the later stages of the game, if you want to be promoted to a higher rank, the weight of "killing enemies" will become higher and higher.

I heard that when you reach the general level, only "killing enemies" is recognized. The role of mission merit is infinitely weakened... basically only the currency attribute is left.

You can exchange treasures from the high-level officials of the four countries.

The four governments had no right to refuse to exchange military merit for treasures. Once they refused, it would be tantamount to breaking off relations with the other three countries.

No one dares to bear such an outcome.

Quickly thinking over the information he had gathered, Qin Jinnian suddenly asked, "Can I see my military rank?"

He has killed many weird and evil churches on Earth, and even several god-level abyss species have been worn down by him... I wonder if there is any military merit? The waiter was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Of course you can."

He immediately guided Qin Jinnian and stood in the small square.

After Qin Jinnian stood on the small square, it suddenly made a slight buzzing sound, and then a warm breath surged from under his feet, and a shadow appeared above Qin Jinnian's head.

result……

But there was not a single claw mark.

"Forehead……"

This result was obviously beyond Qin Jinnian's expectations.

This also made the waiter stunned for a moment, and he looked at Qin Jinnian with some suspicion.

No, killing monsters on Earth doesn’t count as military merit?

Qin Jinnian was a little confused.

At this moment, an electronic voice suddenly appeared.

"There is no record of military merit for discovering illegal stowaways."

"Um??"

Qin Jinnian was stunned for a moment, but then he saw the waiter's face change drastically and he wanted to say something.

Qin Jinnian had already flashed behind him, then gently pinched his neck, and he immediately fell unconscious.

Before Qin Jinnian could make the next move, an angry voice rang out: "How dare you come to my Daxia Chamber of Commerce to cause trouble? You're looking for death!!!"

A golden light swept in from afar.

Qin Jinnian was extremely speechless, but he couldn't explain it, so he simply took a step forward and disappeared.

call out!!

A golden figure appeared in the store the moment Qin Jinnian disappeared.

When he saw Qin Jinnian's figure disappear, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and then a hint of gloom appeared in his eyes.

"team leader!"

"What's going on?"

Soon, figures gathered together rapidly.

These people were all wearing uniform clothes.

They have a strong aura and appear to be basically tenth-level warriors.

The first golden figure looked at the waiter who had fallen to the ground, and found that he was still breathing. He frowned slightly, and then said coldly: "There is a space stowaway entering... Humph, he is quite courageous."

"Ah? A space stowaway?"

Everyone behind him was shocked.

The golden figure looked around, but finally frowned. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's a space-based stowaway, and it should be a god-level one. It's very likely that he is one of those rats who came here in this way. He can't be aimless... Everyone, be alert and don't let him take advantage of the opportunity."

Everyone was startled and said quickly: "Yes!"

Then, they began to patrol carefully with heavy hearts.

And at the same time.

Several kilometers away, Qin Jinnian appeared in a corner, his expression somewhat speechless...

"What is this? A person without record? A stowaway?"

In other words, he has no chance of participating in this military merit system?

More importantly...from now on, Dawn, in this abyss, will have no chance of getting a military rank?

"The problem is a bit serious..."

His brows furrowed.

I'm out of the hospital. My feet hurt so much after the surgery yesterday that I basically didn't sleep all night. I started writing when the pain was gone a little bit. But I wrote on and off, and it took a little longer than it should have... Alas. I can't help it. I hope my feet won't hurt so much tomorrow...
